Cognos 8 Samples dump(GreatOutdoors)

[vincy]

Can anyone please tell me where i can find Cognos 8 Samples DB? I'm using cognos 8.4.
Thanks in advance!

You can download it from the IBM website:

Thank you for the reply MFGF.

I have a basic account in the IBM website, when i followed your link after login it is redirecting me to a 'Self Nomination page' page where it is asking for a 'Site number' ?

Thanks!

It looks like you don't have a valid login to download software. How did you get hold of your current 8.4 software?

I'm using my Friend's computer, as she already has cognos8(without Samples) in that & heI cannot get hold of her now...is there any workaround for this?
Thanks.

Not without a valid login to PA, no. You need to get your friend to download the samples. It's odd that she would give you full access to her computer but not give you any means to contact her. Are you sure this is all legal?

Ibm offers free download of cognos10
With sample data base.. On the other hand one can try to work wit cognos wit online sandbox .. But onething that i cant be used for commercial purpose .. I think it s evaluation version of thirty days..  ibm gives this for educating the developers and encouraging them.. Else i dont think everyone ll get the chance to learn other than their work environment.. One among BSP team also told the same in one forum..

Thanks MFGF & Venky for you replies.

I managed to get the Samples file(it was already there in my system, overlooked it). Now when I'm trying to install it..Getting this error during db import "IMP-0002 Failed to open <file-name>.dmp for read"

googled it a bit but no use...

The samples install should unpack into a folder structure, with sub folders for windows and various flavours of unix. It sounds like you either have a corrupt download, or else you are looking at the wrong thing...
